Delays at Hastings Household Waste Recycling Site

Following the introduction this week of Rother District Council's new waste and recycling kerbside collection services, there has been increased demand on the Hastings Veolia Household Waste Recycling Site in Bexhill which is causing considerable congestion at the site.

The Household Waste Recycling Site is open as normal Monday '“ Sunday 9.00am until 6.00pm and they would ask members of the public to sort their waste into recycling and general waste before coming to the site to enable a quicker turn around while at the site.

The site is extremely busy with long queues stretching onto the main road and a waiting time of up to two hours at times.

There are always issues when new schemes are implemented but these usually settle quickly. In the meantime Veolia would ask you to avoid using the Household Waste Recycling Site unless completely necessary.

Veolia Environmental Services (formerly Onyx) has a 25 year contract for the delivery of an integrated waste management service across East Sussex and Brighton & Hove. Working in partnership with both East Sussex County Council and Brighton & Hove City Council, it is committed to providing a sustainable approach to managing the area's household waste. Providing this service requires the operation, development and construction of a network of strategically placed facilities, designed to increase recycling, composting and recovery and to reduce dependence on scarce local landfill.

Under its contract Veolia Environmental Services is not responsible for the household collection of waste or recyclables. This remains the responsibility of Brighton & Hove City Council and the five District and Borough councils within East Sussex.
